From the website

The Open Relay is planned as a spectator event. It will start at about 1pm and the winning teams should be finished by 2pm. Other Relay classes will start from about 2pm. Individual Sprints will start from about 3pm.

The individual sprint is either for people who don’t form part of a relay team, in which they are competitive, or for people who fancy a run after their relay run, in which case they are non-competitive. At the moment there are different courses for each.

Relays are available in all the usual categories, only the open relay at 1300 is designed as a spectator event.

Might be tricky but we would really appreciate entries as early as possible to gauge numbers as this day is a bit of an unknown so far as numbers are concerned!

The only concern I have is whether it's sensible to have the Long race in Wharfedale the same day as the Tour de Yorkshire goes through - from my memory cycling races cause enormous disruption even when the roads are not closed.

Fingers crossed good weather has been ordered for the kettling near Kettlewell.
